🔪 Method

• Parcook the Mince

Cook the minced chicken or meat in a pressure cooker or pot with salt and a little water until partially done.

• Add Vegetables

Add chopped onions, potato, carrot (if using), green peas, garlic, and ginger to the pot. Mix well.

• Spice It Up

Add turmeric, garam masala, and green chilies. Close the lid and cook on low flame for 10–15 minutes, until everything softens and the water evaporates.

• Add Flavor & Bind

Once most of the moisture has evaporated, add lemon juice or vinegar and chopped coriander. Mix well.

Add torn bread slice pieces for binding. Let it cool slightly.

• Blend the Mixture

Blend the mixture lightly in a blender (don’t over-grind). Transfer back to a bowl.

Add one beaten egg and mix thoroughly.

• Shape the Cutlets

With oiled hands, shape the mixture into oval or cylindrical cutlets.

• Coat & Fry

Roll each cutlet in rava or bread crumbs. Heat oil in a deep pan and fry cutlets until golden brown and crisp.

• Serve Hot

Serve hot with tomato ketchup or green chutney.
